PREFACE 


IN  this  revision  of  the  Elementary  Spelling  Book,  the  chief 
object  aimed  at  is  to  bring  its  notation  into  a  correspondence 
with  that  of  the  recently  issued  Quarto  Dictionary,  in  which  a 
more  extended  system  of  orthoepical  marks  has  been  adopted 
for  the  purpose  of  exhibiting  the  nicer  discriminations  of 
vowel  sounds.  A  few  of  the  Tables,  however,  and  a  few  single 
columns  of  words,  are  left  without  diacritical  signs  as  exercises 
in  notation,  a  familiarity  with  which  is  important  to  all  who 
consult  the  dictionary.  A  little  attention  to  the  Key  to  the 
Sounds  of  the  marlced  Letters  will  aid  both  teacher  and  pupil  in 
this  interesting  exercise.  As  it  has  been  found  inconvenient  to 
insert  the  whole  Key  at  the  top  of  the  page,  as  heretofore, 
frequent  reference  to  the  full  explanation  of  the  jointed  letters 
on  page  14  may  be  desirable. 

In  Syllabication  it  has  been  thought  best  not  to  give  the 
■etymological  division  of  the  Quarto  Dictionary,  but  to  retain 
the  old  mode  of  Dr.  Webster  as  best  calculated  to  teach  young 
scholars  the  true  pronunciation  of  words. 

The  plan  of  classification  here  executed  is  extended  so  as  to 
comprehend  every  important  variety  of  English  words,  and  the 
classes  are  so  arranged,  with  suitable  directions  for  the  pro- 
nunciation, that  any  pupil,  who  shall  be  master  of  these  Ele- 
mentary Tables,  will  find  little  difficulty  in  learning  to  form 
and  pronounce  any  words  that  properly  belong  to  our  ver- 
nacular language. 

The  Tables  intended  for  Exercises  in  Spelling  and  forming 
words,  contain  the  original  words,  with  the  terminations  only 
of  their  derivatives.  These  Tables  will  answer  the  important 
purposes  of  teaching  the  manner  of  forming  the  various  deriv- 
atives, and  the  distinctions  of  the  parts  of  speech,  and  thus: 


6  PREFACE. 


anticipate,  in  some  degree,  the  knowledge  of  grammar ;  at  the 
same  time,  they  bring  into  a  small  compass  a  much  greater 
number  of  words  than  could  be  otherwise  comprised  in  so 
small  a  book. 

The  2^ronunciation  here  given  is  that  which  is  sanctioned 
by  the  most  general  usage  of  educated  people,  both  in  the 
United  States  and  in  England.  There  are  a  few  words  in  both 
countries  whose  pronunciation  is  not  settled  beyond  dispute. 
In  cases  of  this  kind,  the  Editor  has  leaned  to  regular  analo- 
gies as  furnishing  the  best  rule  of  decision. 

In  orthography  there  are  some  classes  of  words  in  which 
usage  is  not  uniform.  No  two  English  writers  agree  on  this 
subject ;  and  what  is  worse,  no  lexicographer  is  consistent  with 
himself.  In  this  book,  as  in  Dr.  Webster's  dictionaries,  that 
mode  of  spelling  has  been  adopted  which  is  the  most  simple 
and  best  authorized.  The  Editor  has  followed  the  rules  that 
are  held  to  be  legitimate,  and  has  rendered  uniform  all  classes 
of  words  falling  within  them.  If  established  rules  and  anal- 
ogies will  not  control  the  practice  of  writers,  there  is  no  au- 
thority by  which  uniformity  can  be  produced. 

The  reading  lessons  are  adapted,  as  far  as  possible,  to  the 
capacities  of  children,  and  to  their  gradual  progress  in  knowl- 
edge. These  lessons  wTill  serve  to  substitute  variety  for  the 
dull  monotony  of  spelling,  show  the  practical  use  of  words  in 
significant  sentences,  and  thus  enable  the  learner  the  better 
to  understand  them.  The  consideration  of  diversifying  the 
studies  of  the  pupil  has  also  had  its  influence  in  the  arrange- 
ment of  the  lessons  for  spelling.  It  is  useful  to  teach  children 
the  signification  of  words,  as  soon  as  they  can  comprehend 
them ;  but  the  understanding  can  hardly  keep  pace  with  the 
memory,  and  the  minds  of  children  may  w?ell  be  employed  in 
learning  to  spell  and  pronounce  words  whose  signification  is 
not  within  the  reach  of  their  capacities;  for  what  they  do 
not  clearly  comprehend  at  first,  they  will  understand  as  their 
capacities  are  enlarged. 

The  objects  of  a  work  of  this  kind  being  chiefly  to  teach 
orthography  and  pronunciation,  it  is  judged  most  proper  to 
adapt  the  various  Tables  to  these  specific  objects,  and  omit_ 
extraneous  matter.     In  short,  this  little  book  is  so  constructed  | 
as  to  condense  into  the  smallest  compass  a  complete  System

of  Elements  for  teaching  the  language;  and  however  small 
such  a  book  may  appear,  it  may  be  considered  as  the  most 
important  class-book,  not  of  a  religious  character,  which  the 
youth  of  our  country  are  destined  to  use.

PREFACE  TO  THE  LATEST  EDITION. 

The  modifications  in  this  revision  (of  1880)  are  not  of  a 
character  to  embarrass  those  teachers  who  use  the  previous 
editions  in  the  same  class.  The  principal  changes  which  have 
been  made  are : 

In  many  instances  an  improved  form*  of  type  ; 

The  substitution  of  living  words  in  the  place  of  those  words 
which  have  become  obsolete ; 

The  omission  of  orthoepical  marks  where  they  are  clearly 
unnecessary,  as  explained  below ; 

The  correction  of  a  few  errors  in  pronunciation,  etc.,  etc. ; 

The  addition,  at  the  end  of  the  book,  of  four  new  pages  of 
common  words  difficult  to  spell. 

The  repetition  of  the  orthoepical  mark  has  l^een  omitted  as 
needless  in  a  succession  of  two  or  more  words  having  the 
same  vowel  letter  and  sound.  In  such  cases  only  the  first  word 
is  marked — the  marked  syllable  of  this  leading  word  being  the 
key  to  the  corresponding  unmarked  syllables  in  the  words 
which  follow.  But  whenever  there  is  a  liability  to  mispro- 
nunciation, the  right  way  is  indicated  by  marking  the  doubt- 
ful syllable.

THE    ELEMENTARY 


ANALYSIS   OF   SOUNDS 

I1V     THE    ENGLISH     LANGUAGE, 

The  Elementary  Sounds  of  the  English  language 
are  divided  into  two  classes,  vowels  and  conso- 
nants. 

A  vowel  is  a  clear  sound  made  through,  an  open 
position  of  the  mouth-channel,  which  molds  or  shapes 
the  voice  without  obstructing  its  utterance :  as  a  (in 
far,  in  fate,  etc.),  e,  o. 

A  consonant  is  a  sound  formed  by  a  closer  position 
of  the  articulating  organs  than  any  position  by  which 
a  vowel  is  formed,  as  b,  d,  t,  g,  sh.  In  forming  a  con- 
sonant the  voice  is  qpmpressed  or  stopped. 

A  diphthong  is  the  union  of  two  simple  vowel 
sounds,  as  ou  (ado)  in  out,  oi  (ai)  in  noise. 

The  English  Alphabet  consists  of  twenty-six  letters, 
or  single  characters,  which  represent  vowel,  conso- 
nant, and  diphthongal  sounds — a.  b,  c,  d,  e,  f,  g,  h, 
L  |,  k,  1,  m,  n,  o,  p,  q,  r,  s,  t  u,  v..  w,  x,  y,  z. '  The 
combinations  ch,  sh,  th,  and  ng  are  also  used  to  repre- 
sent elementary  sounds;  and  another  sound  is  ex- 
pressed by  s,  or  z  ;  as,  in  measure,  azure,  pronounced 
mezh'yoor,  azh'ur. 

Of  the  foregoing  letters,  a,  e,  o,  are  always  simple 
vowels ;  i  and  u  are  vowels  (as  in  in,  its),  or  diph- 
thongs (as  in  time,  tune) ;  and  y  is  either  a  vowel  (as 
in  any),  a  diphthong  (as  in  my),  or  a  consonant  (as 
in  ye). 

Each  of  the  vowels  has  its  regular  long  and  short 
sounds  which  are  most  used ;  and  also  certain  occasional 
sounds,  as  that  of  a  in  last,  far,  care,  fall,  what;  e  in 
term,  there,  prey ;  i  in  firm,  marine  ;  o  in  dove,  for, 
wolf ; prove;  and  u  in  farl,  rude,  and^w^.  These  will 
now  be  considered  separately. 

A,  The  regular  long  sound  of  a  is  denoted  by  a  hori- 
zontal mark  over  it ;  as,  an'cient,  pro-fane' ;  and  the 
regular  short  sound  by  a  curve  over  it ;  as,  cat,  parVy. 


SPELLING    BOOK 


Occasional  sounds. — The  Italian  sound  is  indicated 
by  two  dots  over  it ;  as,  bar,  fa'ther ; — the  short  sound 
of  the  Italian  a,  by.  a  single  dot  over  it;  as,  fast,  last-; 
— the  broad  sound,  by  two  dots  below  it;  as,  ball, 
stall ; — the  short  sound  of  broad  a,  by  a  single  dot 
under  it ;  as,  what,  quad'rant ; — the  sound  of  a  before 
r  in  certain  words  like  care,  fair,  etc.,  is  represented 
by  a  sharp  or  pointed  circumflex  over  the  «,  as,  care, 
hair,  fair,  etc. 

E.  The  regular  long  sound  of  e  is  indicated  by  a 
horizontal  mark  over  it ;  as,  mete,  se-rene';  the  regu- 
lar short  sound,  by  a  curve  over  it ;  as,  met,  re-bel'. 

Occasional  sounds. — The  sound  of  e  like  a  in  care  is 
indicated  by  a  pointed  circumflex  over  the  e,  as  in 
their,  where ;  and  of  short  e  before  r  in  cases  where 
it  verges  toward  short  u,  by  a  rounded  circumflex,  or 
wavy  line,  over  it;  as,  her,  pre-fer'. 

I,  O,  IT.  The  regular  long  and  short  sounds  of  %  o, 
and  u  are  indicated  like  those  qf  a  and  e  by  a  hori- 
zontal mark  and  by  a  curve;  as,  bind,  bin;  dole, 
doll;  tune,  tun. 

Occasional  sounds. — When  i  has  the  sound  of  long 
e  it  is  marked  by  two  dots  over  it;  as,  fa-tigue',  ma- 
rine';— when  o  has  the  sound  of  short,  u,  it  is  marked 
by  a  single  dot  over  it ;  as,  dove,  son ; — when  it  has 
the  sound  of  do,  it  is  marked  with  two  dots  under  it; 
as,  move,  prove; — when  it  has  the  sound  of  do,  it  is 
marked  with  a  single  clot  under  it ;  as,  wolf,  wo'man ; — 
when  it  has  the  sound  of  broad  a,  this  is  indicated  by 
a  pointed  circumflex  over  the  vowel ;  as,  north,  sort ; 
— the  two  letters  oo,  with  a  horizontal  mark  over  them, 
have  the  sound  heard  in  the  words  boom,  loom ; — with 
a  curve  mark,  they  have  a  shorter  form  of  the  same 
sound  ;  as,  book,  good  ; — when  u  is  sounded  like  short 
00,  it  has  a  single  dot  under  it;  as,  full,  pull;  while 
its  lengthened  sound,  as  when  preceded  by  rf  is  indi- 
cated by  two  dots ;  as  in  rude,  ru'ral,  ru'by. 

Note. — The  long  u  in  unaccented  syllables  has,  to  a  great 
extent,  the  sound  of  oo,  preceded  by  y,  as  in  educate,  pro- 
nounced ed'yoo-kiite ;  nature,  pronounced  nat'yoor. 


10  THE    ELEMENTARY 


The  long  sound  of  a  in  late,  when  shortened,  coincides  nearly 
with  that  of  e  in  let ;  as,  adequate,  disconsolate,  inveterate. 

The  long  e,  when  shortened,  coincides  nearly  with  the  short 
i  in  pit  (compare  feet  and  Jit).  This  short  sound  of  i  is  that 
of  y  unaccented,  at  the  end  of  words ;  as,  in  glory. 

The  short  sound  of  broad  a  in  holly  is  that  of  the  short  o  in 
holly,  and  of  a  in  what. 

The  short  sound  of  long  oo  in  pool,  is  that  of  u  in  pull,  and 
oo  in  wool. 

The  short  sound  of  o  in  not,  is  somewhat  lengthened  before 
s,  th,  and  M£7  ;  as  in  cross,  broth,  belong. 

The  pronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  oi  and  oy  is  the  same 
and  uniform ;  as,  in  join,  joy. 

The  pronunciation  of  the  diphthongs  ou  and  ow  is  the  same 
and  uniform ;  as,  in  sound,  now.  But  in  the  termination  ous, 
ou  is  not  a  diphthong,  and  the  pronunciation  is  us;  as,  in 
pious,  glorious. 

A  combination  of  two  letters  used  to  express  a  single  sound 
is  called  a  digraph ;  as,  ea  in  head,  or  th  in  bath. 

The  digraphs  ai  and  ay,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  and  in  ac- 
cented syllables,  have  the  sound  of  a  long.  In  the  unaccented 
syllables  of  a  few  words,  the  sound  of  a  is  nearly  or  quite  lost; 
as,  in  certain,  curtain.  The  digraphs  au  and  aw,  have  the  sound 
of  broad  a  (a  in  fall) ;  ew,  that  of  %i  long,  as  in  new  ;  and  ey,  in 
unaccented  syllables,  that  of  y  or  i  short,  as  in  valley. 

When  one  vowel  of  a  digraph  is  marked,  the  other  has  no 
sound ;  as,  in  court,  road,  slow. 

The  digraphs  ea,  ee,  ei,  ie,  when  not  marked,  have,  in  this 
book,  the  sound  of  e  long ;  as,  in  near,  meet,  seize,  grieve. 

The  digraph  oa,  when  unmarked,  has  the  sound  of  o  long. 

Vowels,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  followed  by  a  single  con- 
sonant and  e  final,  are  long ;  as,  in  fate,  mete,  mite,  note,  mute, 
unless  marked,  as  in  dove,  give. 

The  articulations  or  sounds  represented  by  the  consonants 
are  best  apprehended  by  placing  a  vowel  before  them  in  pro- 
nunciation, and  prolonging  the  second  of  the  two  elements ; 
thus,  eb,  ed,  ef,  eg,  ek,  el,  em,  en,  ep,  er,  es,  et,  ev,  ez. 

Those  articulations  which  wholly  stop  the  passage  of  the 
breath  from  the  mouth,  are  called  close,  or  mute,  as  b,  d,  g,  k, 
p,  t. 

Those  articulations  which  are  formed  either  wholly  or  in 
part  by  the  lips,  are  called  labials  ;  as,  b,  f,  m,  p,  v. 

Those  which  are  formed  by  the  tip  of  the  tongue  and  the 
teeth,  or  the  gum  covering  the  roots  of  the  teeth,  are  called 
dentals;  as,  d,  t,  th  (as  in  thin,  this). 

Those  which  are  formed  by  the  flat  surface  of  the  tongue 
and  the  palate,  are  called  pdUttdU;  as,  g,  k,  ng,  sh,  j,  y. 
The  letters  s  and  z  are  called  also  sibilants,  or  hissing  letters. 


SPELLING    BOOK.  H 


W  (as  in  we)  and  y  (as  in  ye)  are  sometimes  called  semi-vowels, 
is  being  intermediate  between  vowels  and  consonants,  or  par- 
aking  of  tbe  nature  of  both. 

B  and  p  represent  one  and  the  same  position  of  the  articu- 
lating organs ;  but  p  differs  from  o  in  being  an  utterance  of  the 
breath  instead  of  the  voice. 

D  and  t  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  which  is  a 
pressure  of  the  tongue  against  the  gum  at  the  root  of  the  upper 
front  teeth ;  but  t  stands  for  a  whispered,  and  d  for  a  vocal 
sound. 

F  and  v  stand  for  one  ana  the  same  articulation,  the  upper 
teeth  placed  on  the  under  lip ;  but/  indicates  an  expulsion  of 
voiceless  breath ;  v,  of  vocalized  breath,  or  tone. 

Til  in  thin  and  tli  in  this  represent  one  and  the  same  ar- 
ticulation, the  former  with  breath,  the  latter  with  voice. 

S  and  z  stand  for  one  anc*  the  same  articulation ;  *  being  a 
hissing  or  whispered  sound,  and  z  a  buzzing  and  vocal  sound. 

Sh  and  zh  have  the  same  distinction  as  s  and  2,  whispered 
and  vocal ;  but  zh  not  occurring  in  English  words,  the  sound 
is  represented  by  si  or  by  other  letters ;  as,  in  fusion,  osier, 
azure. 

0  and  R  are  cognate  letters,  also  j  and  ch,  the  first  of 
each  couplet  being  vocal,  the  second  aspirate  or  uttered  with 
breath  alone. 

Ng  represents  a  nasal  sound. 

B  has  one  sound  only,  as  in  bite.  After  m,  or  before  t,  it  is 
generally  mute;  as  in  dumb,  doubt. 

C  has  the  sound  of*  before  a,  0,  u,  I  and  r,  as  in  cat,  cot,  cup, 
dock,  and  crop;  and  of  s  before  e,  i,  and  y,  as  in  cell,  cit,  cycle. 
It  may  be  considered  as  mute  before  k;  as,  in  sick,  thick.  C, 
when  followed  by  e  or  i  before  another  vowel,  unites  with  e  or 
i  to  form  the  sound  of  sh.  Thus,  cetaceous,  gracious,  conscience, 
are  pronounced  ce-ta'shus,  gra'shus,  con'shense. 

D  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  day,  lid  ;  when  preceded  in 
the  same  syllable  by  a  whispered  or  non-vocal  consonant,  it 
uniformly  takes  the  sound  of  t,  as  in  hissed  (hist). 

F  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  life,  fever,  except  in  of,  in  which 
it  has  the  sound  of  v. 

©  before  a,  0,  and  u,  is  a  close  palatal  articulation ;  as,  in 
gave,  go,  gun;  before  e,  i,  and  y,  it  sometimes  represents  the 
same  articulation,  but  generally  indicates  a  compound  sound, 
like  that  of  j;  as  in  gem,  gin,  gyves.  Before  n  in  the  same  syl- 
lable it  is  silent ;  as,  in  gnaw. 

H  is  a  mark  of  mere  breathing  or  aspiration.  After  r  it  is 
silent ;  as,  in  rhetoric. 

1  in  certain  words  has  the  use  of  y  consonant ;  as,  in  million, 
pronounced  miU'yun.  Before  r  it  has  a  sound  nearly  resembling 
that  of  short  u,  but  more  open ;  as,  in  bird,  flirt. 


12  THE.  ELEMENTARY 


J  represents  a  compound  sound,  pretty  nearly  equivalent  to 
that  represented  by  dzh;  as,  in  joy. 

K.  has  one  sound  only  ;  as,  in  king.  It  is  silent  before  n  in 
the  same  syllable ;  as,  in  knave. 

It  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  lame,  mill.  It  is  silent  in  many 
words,  esi^ecially  before  a  final  consonant;  as,  in  walk,  calm, 
calf,  should. 

M  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  man,  flame.  .  It  is  silent  before 
n  in  the  same  syllable;  as,  in  mnemonics. 

7i  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  not,  sun.  It  is  silent  after  / 
and  m ;  as,  in  kiln,  hymn,  solemn. 

P  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  pit,  lap.  At  the  beginning  of 
words,  it  is  silent  before  n,  s,  and  t;  as,  in  pneumatics,  psalm, 
pshaw,  ptarmigan. 

Q,  has  the  sound  of  k,  but  it  is  always  followed  by  u,  anc' 
these  two  letters  are  generally  gounded  like  kw  ;  as,  in  ques- 
tion. 

R  is  sounded  as  in  rip,  trip,  form,  carol,  mire. 

S  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  send,  less;  or  the  sound  of  z,  as 
in  rose.  Followed  by  i  preceding  a  vowel,  it  unites  with  the 
vowel  in  forming  the  sound  of  sh  ;  as  in  mission,  pronounced 
misli'un; — or  of  its  vocal  correspondent  zh ;  as  in  osier,  pro- 
nounced o'zher. 

T  has  its  proper  sound,  as  in  turn,  at  the  beginning  of  words 
and  at  the  end  of  syllables.  Before  i,  followed  by  another 
vowel,  it  unites  with  i  to  form  the  sound  of  sh,  as  in  nation, 
partial,  patience,  pronounced  na'shun,  par'shal,  pa'shenee.  But 
when  s  or  *  precedes  t,  this  letter  and  the  i  following  it  pre- 
serve their  own  sounds ;  as  in  oastion.  Christian,  mixtion,  pro- 
nounced Mst'yun,  krlst'yan,  mlkst'yun.  T  is  silent  in  the  ter- 
minations ten  and  tie  after  s;  as  in  fasten,  gristle;  also  in  the 
words  often,  chestnut,  Christmas,  etc. 

V  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  voice,  live,  and  is  never  silent 

W  before  r  in  the  same  syllable  is  silent,  as  in  wring,  wrong. 
In  most  words  beginning  with  wh,  the  h  precedes  the  w  in 
utterance,  that  is,  wh  is  simply  an  aspirated  w ;  thus  when  is 
pronounced  hwen.  But  if  o  follows  this  combination,  the  w 
is  silent,  as  in  ivhole,  pronounced  hole. 

X  represents  ks,  as  in  wax;  but  it  is  sometimes  pronounced 
like  gz;  as,  in  exact.  At  the  beginning  of  words,  it  is  pro- 
nounced like  z ;  as,  in  Xenophon. 

Z  has  its  proper  sound,  which  is  that  of  the  vocal  s;  as,  in 
maze. 

CU  has  very  nearly  the  sound  oftsh;  as,  in  church:  or  the 
sound  of  k  ;  as,  in  character  :  or  of  sh,  as  in  machine. 

Oh  is  mute  in  every  English  word,  both  in  the  middle  and 
at  the  end  of  words,  except  in  the  following :  cough,  chough, 
dough,  enough,  laugh,  rough,  slough,  tough,  trough,  in  which  it 


SPELLING    BOOK,  13 

has  the  sound  of/;  hough,  lough,  shough,  in  which  it  has  the 
sound  of  h;  and  hiccough,  in  which  it  has  the  sound  of  p.  At 
the  beginning  of  a  word,  it  is  pronounced  like  g  hard ;  as  in 
ghastly,  ghost,  gherkin,  etc. ;  hence  this  combination  may  be 
said  not  to  have  a  proper  or  regular  sound  in  any  English 
word. 

Fh  has  the  sound  of/,  as  in  philosophy  ;  except  in  Stephen, 
pronounced  Ste'vn. 

Sh  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  shall. 

Th  has  two  sounds;  whispered,  as  in  think,  loth;  and 
vocal,  as  in  thou,  this.  When  vocal,  the  th  is  marked  thus, 
(fh),  as  in  fhou. 

Sc  has  the  sound  of  sic,  before  a,  o,  u,  and  r ;  as,  in  scale, 
%coff,  sculpture,  scroll;  and  the  sound  of  s  alone  before  e,  i.  and 
y  ;  as,  in  scene,  scepter,  science,  Scythian, 


ACCENT, 

Accent  is  a  forcible  stress  or  effort  of  voice  on  a  syllable, 
distinguishing  it  from  others  in  the  same  word,  by  a  greater 
distinctness  of  sound. 

The  accented  syllable  is  designated  by  the  mark  ('). 

The  general  principle  by  which  accent  is  regulated,  is,  that 
the  stress  of  voice  falls  on  that  syllable  of  a  word,  which  ren- 
ders the  articulations  most  easy  to  the  speaker,  and  most  agree- 
able to  the  hearer.  By  this  rule  has  the  accent  of  most  words 
been  imperceptibly  established  by  a  long  and  universal  con- 
sent. 

When  a  word  consists  of  three  or  more  syllables,  ease  of 
speaking  requires  usually  a  secondary  accent,  of  less  forcible 
utterance  than  the  primary,  but  clearly  distinguishable  from 
the  pronunciation  of  unaccented  syllables ;  as  in  su'perjlu'ity, 
IWera'ry,

Plants  grow  in  the  ground  from  seeds. 
The  man  cuts  down  trees  with  his  ax. 
Eels  swim  in  the  brook. 
Sharp  tools  are  made  of  steel. 
The  sun  seems  to  rise  and  set  each  day. 
The  ax  has  a  keen  edge  and  cuts  well. 
In  the  spring  the  grass  looks  green  and  fresh. 
I  have  seen  the  full  moon. 
A  king  and  queen  may  wear  crowns  of  gold. 
I  will  kiss  the  babe  on  his  cheek. 
We  go  to  church  on  the  first  day  of  the  week. 
The  man  put  a  curb  round  our  deep  well. 
Wool  makes  the  sheep  warm. 
Men  keep  their  pigs  in  pens. 
We  lie  down  and  sleep  in  beds.

When  the  moon  passes  between  the  earth  and  the  sun,  we  call 
it  new ;  but  you  must  not  think  that  it  is  more  new  at  that 
time,  than  it  was  when  it  was  full ;  we  mean,  that  it  begins 
anew  to  show  us  the  side  on  which  the  sun  shines.  God 
ordained  the  sun  to  rule  the  day ;  and  the  moon  and  starei 
to  give  light  by  night. 

The  laws  of  nature  are  sustained  by  the  immediate  presence

places  in  the  heavens. 

Air  contains  the  vapors  that  rise  from  the  earth ;  and  it  sus- 
tains them,  till  they  fall  in  dews,  and  in  showers  of  rain,  oil 
in  snow  or  hail.

Laws  are  made  to  restrain  the  bad,  and  protect  the  good. 

Glue  will  make  pieces  of  wood  adhere. 

The  careful  ant  prepares  food  for  winter. 

We  often  compare  childhood  to  the  morning :  morning  is  the 
first  part  of  the  day,  and  childhood  is  the  first  stage  of  hiu 
man  life. 

Do  not  postpone  till  to-morrow  what  you  should  do  to-day. 

A  harpoon  is  an  instrument  for  striking  whales. 

Monsoon  is  a  wind  in  the  East  Indies,  that  blows  six  months

Be  careful  to  keep  your  house  in  good  repair. 

Refrain  from  all  evil ;  keep  no  company  with  immoral  men. 

Never  complain  of  unavoidable  calamities. 

Let  all  your  words  be  sincere,  and  never  deceive. 

A  poltroon  is  an  arrant  coward,  and  deserves  the  contempt  of 
all  brave  men. 

Never  practice  deceit,  for  this  is  sinful. 

To  revere  a  father,  is  to  regard  him  with  fear  mingiea  with

Legislation  is  the  enacting  of  laws,  and  a  legislator  is  one  who 
makes  laws. 

C4od  is  the  divine  legislator.  He  proclaimed  his  ten  com- 
mandments from  Mount  Sinai. 

In  free  governments  the  people  choose  their  legislators. 

We  have  legislators  for  each  State,  who  make  laws  for  thei 
State  where  they  live.  The  town  in  which  they  meet  to 
legislate,  is  called  the  seat  of  government.  These  legisla- 
tors, when  they  are  assembled  to  make  laws,  are  called  the! 
legislature. 

The  people  should  choose  their  best  and  wisest  men  for  their  i 
legislators. 

It  is  the  duty  of  every  good  man  to  inspect  the  moral  conduct

of  the  man  "who  is  offered  as  a  legislator  at  our  yearly  elec- 
tions. If  the  peoj)le  wish  for  good  laws,  they  may  have 
them,  by  electing  good  men. 

The  legislative  councils  of  the  United  States  should  feel  their 
dependence  on  the  will  of  a  free  and  virtuous  people. 

Our  farmers,  mechanics,  and  merchants,  compose  the  strength 
of  our  nation.  Let  them  be  wise  and  virtuous,  and  watch- 
ful of  their  liberties.  Let  them  trust  no  man  to  legislate 
for  them,  if  he  lives  in  the  habitual  violation  of  the  laws 
of  his  country.

An  advocate  is  one  who  defends  the  cause  or  opinions  of  an- 
other, or  who  maintains  a  party  in  opposition  to  another. 

Ardent  spirits  stimulate  the  system  for  a  time,  but  leave  it 
more  languid. 

Men  often  toil  all  their  lives  to  get  property,  which  their 
children  dissipate  and  waste. 

We  should  emulate  the  virtuous  actions  of  great  and  good 
men. 

Moderate  passions  are  most  conducive  to  happiness,  and  mod- 
erate gains  are  most  likely  to  be  durable. 

Abusive  words  irritate  the  passions,  but  "a  soft  answer  turn- 
eth  away  wrath." 

Discontent  aggravates  the  evils  of  calamity. 

Violent  anger  makes  one  unhappy,  but  a  temperate  state  of  the

incompatible  with  social  order. 

The  incoinpressibility  of  water  lias  been  disproved. 

We  can  not  doubt  the  incomprehensibility  of  the  divine  attri-

The  heathen  are  those  people  who  worship  idols,  or  who  know 
not  the  true  God. 

Those  who  enjoy  the  light  of  the  gospel,  and  neglect  to  observe 
its  precepte,  are  more  criminal  than  the  heathen. 

All  mankirra  are  brethren,  descendants  of  common  parents. 
How  unnatural  and  wicked  it  is  to  make  war  on  our  breth- 
ren, to  conquer  them,  or  to  plunder  and  destroy  them. 

It  is  every  man's  duty  to  bequeath  to  his  children  a  rich 
inheritance  of  pious  precepts.

Senate  originally  signified  a  council  of  elders ;  for  the  Romans 
committed  the  public  concerns  to  men  of  age  and  experience. 
The  maxim  of  wise  men  was — old  men  for  counsel,  young 
men  for  war.  But  in  modem  times  the  senatorial  dignity  is 
not  always  connected  with  age. 

The  bat  is  the  intermediate  link  between  quadrupeds  and 
fowls.  The  orang-outang  is  intermediate  between  man  and 
quadrupeds. 

Bodies  of  the  same  kind  or  nature  are  called  homogeneous. 

Reproachful  language  is  contumelious  or  contemptuous. 

Bitter  and  sarcastic  language  is  acrimonious. 

Simultaneous  acts  are  those  which  happen  at  the  same  time.. 

Many  things  are  lawful  which  are  not  expedient,

Chyle  is  the  milky  fluid  separated  from  food  by  digestion,  and 
from  this  are  formed  blood  and  nutriment  for  the  support 
of  animal  life. 

An  epoch  is  a  fixed  point  of  time  from  which  years  are  reck- 
oned. The  departure  of  the  Israelites  from  Egypt  is  a 
remarkable  epoch  in  their  history. 

A  patriarch  is  the  father  of  a  family,  Abraham  was  the  great 
patriarch  of  the  Israelites. 

Sound  striking  against  an  object  and  returned,  is  an  echo. 

The  stomach  is  the  great  laboratory  of  animal  bodies,  in  which 
food  is  digested  and  prepared  for  entering  the  proper  ves- 
sels, and  nourishing  the  body.  If  the  stomach  is  impaired 
and  does  not  perform  its  proper  functions,  the  whole  body 
suffers.

THE  DOG. 

This  dog  is  the  mastiff.  He  is  active,  strong,  and  used  as  a 
watch  dog.  He  has  a  large  head  and  pendent  ears.  He  is 
uot  very  apt  to  bite ;  but  he  will  sometimes  take  down  a  man 
and  hold  him  down.  Three  mastiffs  once  had  a  combat  with 
a  lion,  and  the  lion  was  compelled  to  save  himself  by  flight. 


THE   STAG. 

The  stag  is  the  male  of  the  red  deer.  He  is  a  mild  and 
harmless  animal,  bearing  a  noble  attire  of  horns,  which  are 
shed  and  renewed  every  year.  His  form  is  light  and  elegant, 
and  he  runs  with  great  rapidity.  The  female  is  called  a  hind ; 
and  the  fawn  or  young  deer,  when  his  horns  appear,  is  called 
a  pricket  or  brocket.

THE   COUNTRY  MAID   AND    HER   MILK  PAIL. 

When  men  suffer  their  imagination  to  amuse  them  with 
he  prospect  of  distant  and  uncertain  improvements  of  their 
condition,  they  frequently  sustain  real  losses,  by  their  inatten- 
ion  to  those  affairs  in  which  they  are  immediately  concerned. 

A  country  maid  was  walking  very  deliberately  with  a  pail 
)f  milk  upon  her  head,  when  she  fell  into  the  following  train 
)f  reflections :  "  The  money  for  which  I  shall  sell  this  milk, 
vill  enable  me  to  increase  my  stock  of  eggs  to  three  hundred, 
jrhese  eggs,  allowing  for  what  may  prove  addle,  and  what 
nay  be  destroyed  by  vermin,  will  produce  at  least  two  hun- 
Ired  and  fifty  chickens.  The  chickens  will  be  fit  to  carry  to 
narket  about  Christmas,  when  poultry  always  bears  a  good

price;  so  that  by  May  Day  I  can  not  fail  of  having  money 
enough  to  purchase  a  new  gown.  Green ! — let  me  consider — 
yes,  green  becomes  my  complexion  best,  and  green  it  shall  be. 
In  this  dress  I  will  go  to  the  fair,  wrhere  all  the  young  fellows 
will  strive  to  have  me  for  a  partner;  but  I  shall  perhaps  re- 
fuse every  one  of  them,  and,  with  an  air  of  disdain,  toss  from 
them."  Transported  with  this  triumphant  thought,  she  could 
not  forbear  acting  with  her  head  what  thus  passed  in  her  im- 
agination, when  down  came  the  pail  of  milk,  and  with  it  all  her 
imaginary  happiness.

THE   TWO   DOGS. 

Hasty  and  inconsiderate  connections  are  generally  attended 
with  great  disadvantages ;  and  much  of  every  man's  good  or 
ill  fortune,  depends  upon  the  choice  he  makes  of  his  friends. 

A  good-natured  Spaniel  overtook  a  surly  Mastiff,  as  he  was 
traveling  upon  the  high-road.  Tray,  although  an  entire! 
stranger  to  Tiger,  very  civilly  accosted  him ;  and  if  it  would  J 
be  no  interruption,  he  said,  he  should  be  glad  to  bear  him 
company  on  his  way.  Tiger,  who  happened  not  to  be  alto- 
gether in  so  growling  a  mood  as  usual,  accepted  the  proposal ; 
and  they  very  amicably  pursued  their  journey  together.  In 
the  midst  of  their  conversation,  they  arrived  at  the  next  vil- 
lage, where  Tiger  began  to  display  his  malignant  disposition, 
by  an  unprovoked  attack  upon  every  dog  he  met.  The  vil- 
lagers immediately  sallied  forth  with  great  indignation  toj 
rescue  their  respective  favorites;  and  falling  upon  our  two 
friends,  without  distinction  or  mercy,  poor  Tray  was  most 
cruelly  treated,  for  no  other  reason  than  his  being  found  in 
bad  company.

THE   PARTIAL  JUDGE. 

I  A  farmer  came  to  a  neighboring  lawyer,  expressing  great

r  One  of  your  oxen,"  continued  he,  "  has  been  gored  by  an  un-

make  you  reparation."  "Thou  art  a  very  honest  fellow,"  re- 
plied the  lawyer,  "  and  wilt  not  think  it  unreasonable  that  I  ex- 
pect one  of  thy  oxen  in  return."  "  It  is  no  more  than  justice," 
quoth  the  farmer,  "  to  be  sure ;  but  what  did  I  say  ?— I  mistake 
|— it  is  your  bull  that  has  killed  one  of  my  oxen."  "Indeed! " 
eays  the  lawyer,  "that  alters  the  case  :  I  must  inquire  into  the 
kffair;  and  if—"  "And  if!"  said  the  farmer ;  "the  business

THE   CAT    AND   THE  BAT. 

A  certain  cat  had  made  such  unmerciful  havoc  among  the 
rermin  of  her  neighborhood,  that  not  a  single  rat  or  mouse 
lared  venture  to  appear  abroad.  Puss  was  soon  convinced 
that  if  affairs  remained  in  their  present  state,  she  must  ere  long 
starve.  After  mature  deliberation,  therefore,  she  resolved  to 
Lave  recourse  to  stratagem.  For  this  purpose,  she  suspended 
herself  from- a  hook  with  her  head  downward,  pretending  to  be 
dead.  The  rats  and  mice,  as  they  peeped  from  their  holes,  ob- 
serving her  in  this  dangling  attitude,  concluded  she  was  hang- 
ing for  some  misdemeanor,  and  with  great  joy  immediately 
sallied  forth  in  quest  of  their  prey.  Puss,  as  soon  as  a  sufficient 
number  were  collected  together,  quitting  her  hold,  dropped 
into  the  midst  of  them  ;  and  very  few  had  the  fortune  to  make

good  their  retreat.  This  artifice  having  succeeded  so  well,  sheJ 
was  encouraged  to  try  the  event  of  a  second.  Accordingly, 
she  whitened  her  coat  all  over  by  rolling  herself  in  a  heap  of  i 
flour,  and  in  this  disguise  she  lay  concealed  in  the  bottom  of  i 
a  meal  tub.  This  stratagem  was  executed  in  general  with  the 
same  effect  as  the  former.  But  an  old  experienced  rat,  alto- 
gether as  cunning  as  his  adversary,  was  not  so  easily  insnared. 
44 1  don't  quite  like,"  said  he, ';  that  white  heap  yonder.  Some- 
thing whispers  me  there  is  mischief  concealed  under  it.  4Tis 
true,  it  may  be  meal,  but  it  may  likewise  be  something  that  I 
should  not  relish  quite  as  well.  There  can  be  no  harm  at  lea6t 
in  keeping  at  a  proper  distance ;  for  caution,  I  am  sure,  is  the 
parent  of  safety."

a  while,  was  very  happy ;  but  soon  found  that  if  he  attempted 
to  stir,  he  was  wounded  by  the  thorns  and  prickles  on  every 
side.  However,  making  a  virtue  of  necessity,  he  forebore  to 
complain,  and  comforted  himself  with  reflecting  that  no  bliss 
is  perfect ;  that  good  and  evil  are  mixed,  and  flow  from  the 
same  fountain.  These  briers,  indeed,  said  he,  will  tear  my 
skin  a  little,  yet  they  keep  oif  the  dogs.  For  the  sake  of  the 
good,  then,  let  me  bear  the  evil  with  patience ;  each  bitter  has 
its  sweet ;  and  these  brambles,  though  they  wound  my  flesh, 
preserve  my  life  from  danger. 


FABLE    VII, 


THE  BEAR  AND  THE  TWO  FRIENDS. 

Two  friends,  setting  out  together  upon  a  journey  which  led 
through  a  dangerous  forest,  mutually  promised  to  assist  each 
3ther,"if  they  should  happen  to  be  assaulted.  They  had  not 
proceeded  far,  before  they  perceived  a  bear  making  toward 
;hem  with  great  rage. 

There  were  no  hopes  in  flight;  but  one  of  them,  being  very 
ictive,  sprang  up  into  a  tree;  upon  which  the  other,  throwing 
rimself  flat  on  the  ground,  held  his  breath  and  pretended  to 
3e  dead ;  remembering  to  have  heard  it  asserted  that  this 
creature  will  not  prey  upon  a  dead  carcass.  The  bear  came 
lp  and  after  smelling  of  him  some  time,  left  him  and  went  on. 
When  he  was  fairly  out  of  sight  and  hearing,  the  hero  from 
he  tree  called  out, — "  Well,  my  friend,  what  said  the  bear  ? 
3e  seemed  to  whisper  you  very  closely."  "  He  did  so,"  replied 
he  other,  "  and  gave  me  this  good  advice,  never  to  associate  with 
1  wretch,  who,  in  the  hour  of  danger,  will  desert  his  friend."

"  Henry,  tell  me  the  number  of  clays  in  a  year."  "  Three  hun- 
dred and  sixty-five/'  "  How  many  weeks  in  a  year  ?  "  "  Fifty 
two."  "  How  many  days  in  a  week  ?  "  "  Seven."  u  What  are  they 
called?  "  "  Sabbath  or  Sunday,  Monday,  Tuesday,  Wednesday, 
Thursday,  Friday,  Saturday."  The  Sabbath  is  a  day  of  rest,  and 
called  the  Lord's  day,  because  God  has  commanded  us  to  keep 
it  holy.  On  that  day  we  are  to  omit  labor  and  worldly  em 
ployments,  and  devote  the  time  to  religious  duties,  and  the 
gaining  of  religious  knowledge. 

"  How  many  hours  are  there  in  a  day  or  day  and  night  ?  " 
"  Twenty-four."    "  How  many  minutes  in  an  hour  ? "    "  Sixty 
"  How  many  seconds  in  a  minute  ?  "    "  Sixty."    Time  is  meas- 
ured by  clocks  and  watches  ;  or  by  dials  and  glasses. 

The  light  of  the  sun  makes  the  day,  and  the  shade  of  the 
earth  makes  the  night.  The  earth  revolves  from  west  to  east 
once  in  twenty-four  hours.  The  sun  is  fixed  or  stationary; 
but  the  earth  turns  every  part  of  its  surface  to  the  sun  once  in 
twenty-four  hours.  The  day  is  for  labor,  and  the  night  is  for 
isleep  and  repose.  Children  should  go  to  bed  early  in  the 
evening,  and  all  persons,  who  expect  to  thrive  in  the  world 
should  rise  early  in  the  morning.

6.  The  name  of  the  agent,  vrfien  the  verb  admits  of  it,  is  formed  in  like 
manner,  without  doubling  the  last  consonant,  as,  caviler,  worshiper, 
duelist,  libeler,  traveler.  So  also  adjectives  are  formed  from  these 
verbs  without  doubling  the  last  consonant,  as,  libelous,  marvelous. 

7.  When  verbs  end  in  c  after  d  and  t,  the  final  e  in  the  past  tense  and 
participle  of  the  perfect  tense,  unites  with  d  and  forms  an  additional 
syllable,  but  it  is  dropped  before  ing.     Thus,  abate,  abated,  abating. 

ab  di  cate  d  ing  de  grade  d  ing 

ded  i  cate  d  ing  suf  fo  cate  d  ing 

med  i  tate  d  ing  ed  u  cate  d  ing

vin  di  cate  d  ing  con  cede  d  ing 

8.  In  verbs  ending  in  c  after  any  other  consonant  than  d  and  t,  the  past 
tense  is  formed  by  the  addition  of  d,  and  this  letter  with  the  final  e  may 
form  a  distinct  syllable;  but  usually  the  e  is  not  sounded.  Thus 
abridged,  is  pronounced  abridjd ;  abased,  abaste.  Before  ing,  e  w 
dropped.

Note.  Although  ed  in  the  past  tense  and  participle  is  thus  blended  with 
the  last  syllable  of  the  verb,  yet  when  a  noun  is  formed  by  adding  ness 
to  such  participles,  the  ed  becomes  a  distinct  syllable.  Thus  blessed 
may  be  jir&nounced  in  one  syllable  ;  but  bless-ed-ness  must  be  in  three. 

9.  Verbs  ending  in  ay,  oy,  ow,  ew,  and  ey,  have  regular  derivatives  in
